To da moon Alice!
(today 42 anniv. man on the moon.)
For me the anniversary is tomorrow. I was in Vietnam and remember listening on a radio.
Man… apple sure does have to claw their way to any gains. I’d love some TOTAL visibility on the market with a market depth feed. Anyone out there paying for that? lulz
You’re damn right that Apple will have to fight tooth and nail to climb. I think one of the analysts decided to compress Apple’s EPS today (I couldn’t find the article again). He’s one of those making sure that Apple has to move against gale force winds. I’m not exactly sure why he did it but he did. I think he lowered it from 18 to 16X forward earnings. Ain’t that a bitch. Ah, whatever.
Apple should be well over $400 by now. For what Apple is delivering, I still think WS is squeezing Apple. At some point, a company that delivers consistently should be given a break. I thought Apple’s readjustment in the S&P 500 was supposed to help boost Apple shares in some way. I guess I was mistaken.
I am sure all the hedgefunds that are invested in apple want to squeeze them until they relent with their cash hoard. IMO, and as an investor, I am glad they are not buckling.
Fsck it- let the market value equal the cash value per share. It’d be crazy if it got to that point, but man- with $76b in cash they are certainly on that track. it’s insane 😀
I should of bought more option contracts
in June.
When Apple’s market cap surpassed Microsoft’s last year, Ballmer felt compelled to put out a press release stating that although Apple might be worth more, Microsoft still made more money. This might be the first quarter than Apple’s profit surpasses Microsoft’s. MSFT earning come out Thursday.
At some point, Apple will have to make more profit than Microsoft. Apple’s economies of scale seems to keep getting increasingly larger. You have to figure that the mobile apps market is going to just keep pouring in money for Apple. Now that the Mac App Store is eliminating the need for all those physical boxes and shipments to stores and consumers, that’s more money being saved by Apple and that’s also making Apple greener. Apple removed the optical drive from the Mac Mini, so that’s more money being saved. Apple seems to keep cutting tiny bits away to save money and increase profits.
The point where Apple surpasses Microsoft in profits would mark an amazing journey when a hardware company could cut costs enough to compete with a company that basically just sells DVDs in boxes to consumers or just allows companies to install Windows OS from a single DVD (OEM) on millions of computers. Apple is flying and I don’t know why Wall Street doesn’t get it.
I think today’s the first day we exceeded Wintel. (MSFT + Intel). Can I have a witness?! Can I have a witness?! AMEN!

WRONG! MDN pointed out that point being passed, oh, a month or three ago. Although, it may have slipped and is now passed again?
Apple is very successful with the products they offer, it is worth when their shares on the Exchange is in great demand by a broker, it caused Apple’s stock price rose sharply.

AAPL already past MSFT in profit last quarter
